An object of the invention is to provide a cylindrical housing, open atthe bottom to be placed over a gas or oil burner or other source ofheat, and having at its upper end means to engage and support foodcontainers of variant sizes.

A further feature is in the provision of means to disseminate the heatin a manner to cause a substantially uniform application to the surfacesof the containers entered into the housing, preventing waste of the fueland materially reducing the time in cooking.

These and other advantageous purposes, which will hereafter appear, areaccomplished by the novel construction, combination and arrangement ofparts hereinafter described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing,constituting a material component of this disclosure, and in which:-

Figure l is a partial top plan View of an em-v bodiment of theinvention, showing food containers of difierent sizes in operativeposition therein.

Figure 2 is a vertical sectional view taken on line aa of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is another partial top plan view with the containers omitted.

Referring in greater detail to the drawing, the numeral 2 designates awall of the hollow cylinrical housing having an inreaching flange 2' atthe end of its open upper end, the flange provided with a plurality ofelongated slots 2" through which the heat escapes after its utilization,while in the bottom edge are recesses 2" for the entrance of air.

Fixed to the wall 2, near its bottom, is an inreaching support 3 havingat its inner end a broad. pad 3 to which is attached a flat circulardisc 4 spreading the heat entering the housing.

The disc 4 is provided with a plurality of peripheral notches i and alsocontains a concentric row of spaced apertures 4" which permit thecurrent of hot air to pass through.

Loosely mounted on the inreaching flange 2 is a container support ring 5for the largest size of cooking receptacle as 8, and suited to engage inthe ring is an adapter annulus 5 suited to cooking receptacles of lesserdiameter as indicated at 6.

The larger container 8 is provided with handles 8', and the smaller withcorresponding handles posable over a source of heat, an inreachingflange on the upper end of said housing, a container receiver ringmounted on said flange, and a perforate plate spacedly supported withinthe lowerportion of said housing to cause. dissemination of the heat.

2. A cooking utensil comprising a cylindrical 1 housing open at itsupper and lower ends and disposable over a heat source, an inreachingannular flange on the upper edge of said housing, said flange havingaplurality of elongated slots and its bottom edge plurally recessed, anadapter ring engaging said flange to support cooking receptacles withinsaid housing, and a disc supported in the lower portion of said housing,said disc having a notched periphery and containing a plurality ofapertures.

3. A cooking utensil comprising an upright hollow body having an openlower end disposable over a heat source, an inturned flange on its openupper end, adapterrings interchangeably seated on said flange to supportcooking receptacles of variant diameters, means in the upper and lowerportions of the wall of said body adapted to produce an air draft, andmeans inthe lower portion of said body to cause dissemination of heatuniformly in said body.

4. A cooking utensil comprising an open upright cylindrical casinghaving an inturned margin at its upper edge, a ring seated on saidmargin and having a part engageable therein, an adapter ring removablyengaged on the first named ring, a perforate heat distributing discspaced within the wall of said casing, and a single support extendingfrom the casing wall to carry said disc.

5. A cooking utensil comprising an open topped upright cylindricalcasing having an imperforate wall and an inwardly flanged margin at itsupper edge, said flanged margin containing elongated narrow openings forthe passage of air, a container support ring removably engaged on saidmargin, and an adapter annulus to engage said ring.
